Western fans of JRPGs have a history of learning Japanese just so they can play games that never got a western release. The closest I'll ever come to that is looking up Spanish words that I wasn't familiar with so I could get all the jokes in Guacamelee.

The game is hilarious, with some of my favorite writing in any game I've ever played. The wrestling-based combat feels fresh and unique, so every fight is engaging. And it strikes that perfect backtracking balance for a Metroidvania, where you get to revisit old parts of the game with new abilities, but it's never a chore.
